Cornell Loses $30,000 in Argentine Flood

Musician Chris Cornell lost over $30,000 worth of valuables after his Argentinean hotel room was flooded.

The star and his wife Vicky were staying at the Faena Hotel in Buenos Aires last week following a gig in the capital, but their visit was ruined when many of their possessions were damaged.

A source tells the Page Six, “After performing in front of a sold-out 20,000 capacity arena, Chris returned to his room and was relaxing with Vicky when the walls started trembling, like in an earthquake.

“Then, Chris smelled something burning, and suddenly, the entire entrance of the hallway collapsed and gallons of freezing cold water entered the room. Within a matter of moments, Chris and his wife were up to their knees in water. … They finally scrambled out but lost a lot of stuff.”

Cornell’s representative adds, “Chris was understandably shaken — however, he was just happy no-one was injured in the flood.”
